From Slate Media Critic Jack Shafer's Column This Morning ...
"Nobody in TV news stir-fries his ideas and serves them to the audience
faster than MSNBC's Chris Matthews. Drawing from a larder filled with
old anecdotes, unreliable metaphors, wacky intuition, and superficial
observations, the always-animated Matthews steers whatever's handy into
the hot wok that is his brain. The sizzling free-associations skitter
through his limbic system, leap out his mouth, and look for a resting
spot in the national conversation, where they steam like fresh lava in
untouchable heaps."
